Space Number:  258

Area: North  

Within Building Number: 58 

Phasing:
Mellaart Level: Unassigned at present 

Hodder Level: North.H 

Additional Phase Info: Southern group of related buildings based on combination of stratigraphy (abutting relationships) and lithics assemblage dominated by Nenezi dag pressure flaked blades Sp.258 of B.58 is exposed to its latest occupation phase and NFE (not further excavated) Prior to the introduction of the Hodder phases Sp.258 of B.58 had been allocated to Mellaart Level VI-III very crudely based on comparison of the material assemblage but Mellaart levels of buildings/spaces NOT excavated in the 1960s have been removed to allow an independent assessment on phasing. NB/Work in progress. Correct as of date entered or modified. 

Description:
Space 258changes shape during life. Initally the southern wall of building 58 extended all the way along to form the limit of space 258 and 227. At this time wall F.2000 extended right across to the southern wall forming the internal division between space 227 and 258. The internal walls forming compartments to the space 227 were also present.
A second phase of building saw F.2000 cut so that it no longer extended south of the southern most internal compartment wall (F.2126) and a new internal wall (F.2146) was added to reduce the width of space 258 and perhaps to add supoort to wall F.2000.
Although not certain because not yet excavated, it ssems that F.2105 is earlier and would have met with F.1566 but where the corner is the roman foundation trench has removed the intersection. After 1566 was replaced by 2147 then 2044 could have replaced 2105 as the westerb wall since a plster trace continues in the corner. A final change was the blocking in around the southern entrance between 258 and 270
